A bi-weekly cozy podcast between a mother and her daughter about books and joys of reading
We're finishing up this week's episode, which brings all the ghost vibes for Halloween π -- in the meantime, have you read Fangs by Sarah Andersen? It's an adorable graphic novel about the relationship between a vampire and a werewolf; totally sweet spoopy vibes!

P.S. Meet Freaydis, Julia's purr-fect-for-Halloween kitty πββ¬οΈ
I (Julia) have started my fall TBR list, and this feels like a perfect start. I'm less than a hundred pages in, but I'm really enjoying it so far! It's the story of five generations of witches, and how they navigate the social and cultural forces that oppose them. So far, Louisa Morgan's writing is solemn and detailed. She writes her women strong and gentle and powerful.
How are you starting fall? Any books you re-read in the fall? π
I
My husband and I (Julia) are in the process of moving, and this has been a reoccurring conversation ..... I promise babe, once I have sufficient shelving, the piles of books wont be on the floor anymore!

Here's my (Stephany] pile of possibilities for the rest of July. The reading prompt from The Unread Shelf for this month is "joy".
Have you read any of these books?
What are you're hoping to read next?
Current Read
Unlikely Animals by Angie Hartnett
I love a quirky book that tackles difficult topics with understated humor and compassionate touch. This book tackles dementia, the opiod crisis, aimlessness in young adulthood, a missing person, and strained family relationships. But there are also ghosts, small animal hallucinations and a hilarious 5th grade class. Unlikely Animals is weird in the best possible way. I'm loving it so far.
Do you have a favorite read from the last few months? If so, what was it?

Beach Book #2: The Love Wager by Lynn Painter (about I talked about on the podcast). An easy reading romantic comedy I just started last evening. So far it's meeting expectations - funny and fluffy.
Enjoying a morning of reading with a gorgeous view. The Only Survivirs was one of my mentions in the Beach Bag Books chapter of the podcast. It's starting slow but keeping my interest.
